chemepharmd Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Papaw, Welcome to the forum! By all means, come shoot the match if you can. This should be a good match to meet plenty of revo shooters and learn about the sport. Just take your time, shoot safe, and get good hits. The 625 is the way to go for USPSA shooting, and you can find out all about the gear on here. Plenty of us will have extra gear, so if you need something, just let us know.

pskys2 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Dave, better save two seats for me at dinner......Sam Carmoney is coming out of (teenager) retirement and will be flying to Memphis with me to shoot the Challenge! Fantastic, has he been saving up for a new Frame from Cliff? With Sam and Nemo we're at 18, hope more can make it! Looks like Hop A Long is going to break 50 at least!

Bwana Six-Gun Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hey guys and gals, just joined. This is my first post. I found out about this match from this forum board. I am 54 years young and a law enforcement officer. I have been shooting for years, but not in any formal match such as this. My only experiences have been at local matches. I have never joined any of the national organizations until now. I just sent off for my USPSA membership this week. I would very much like to shoot this match if work and family allow. I only live 80 miles from the match. I would not be classifed before the match. Would that be a problem?I have a S & W 625 model of 1989 with only about a 100 rounds fired through it. I have had this gun since they were first produced. Also I have a Safariland 002 holster. I also have two S & W 686 in 4" and 6" in 357 magnum, but I think you have to shoot either major or minor power factor, is that right? Just would like to hear from you and any thoughts you have on shooting this big of a match for the first time. Also would welcome comments from anyone who thinks this is not the match to get my "feet wet". Thanks, Papaw Any match is a good match to get your feet wet, and this one looks to be one of the better ones. Not only that, it is all wheel-gunners except for one odd-ball/pervert/ weirdo that is shooting Production. He obviously has not seen the light! All kidding aside, come on down. Like others said if there is anything you need just put it one here, someone will have extras. My extras are already committed but I know some guys who can't make it and I might can borrow some of theirs. Just let us know and show up. Welcome aboard.

Is it not enough that an old man like me has to get whipped by some other old coots, but now you have to bring in the teen-agers? Oh, the agony of it all! Cliff, he's your wing-man. You owe me an extra beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlktheduk Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 psksy2: add 2 more seats to the reservation list at Corky's for Friday night. She Who Must Be Obeyed will be with me, and will be in need of ribs after a day at either Graceland or the Memphis Zoo (or are they the same place ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixinch Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 His Name is Farley Colins - North Salt Lake Welding, and I believe he was going to your match.I'll pm his number to you, and forward your message to him as well. otherwise google or pm me. I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know if the guy who builds the polish plate racks is coming to the match? My local club might be interested in purchasing one if he's coming and could bring it to the match. Probably not an option, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Ok, I just got through having a telepathic conversation(Out of Body Experience )with the PPR. guy and he has got another Challange: For every order recieved for a Polish Plate Rack @ the MCC. he will donate $100.00 to St. Jude's. As far as bring one with he says he might as well buy the plane cause the extra baggage charge would be killer!..............Sixinch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueridge Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Out of curiosity (and since I signed up for it), are there enough people signed up for the "Speedloader" category for it to be recognized? I'll be using them either way, but I figured that I would ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashvillebill Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hello all. Concerning the big Corky's dinner. I spoke with Sam "Hopalong" Keen at the suggestion of Bill Grewe about this. The consensus is that the gathering may soon exceed the capacity of the establishment. Sam is currently working a job where internet access is hard to come by so he asked me to pass this along. There will be early registration at the match hotel that Friday evening in one of the banquet rooms. What about booking another banquet room and having Corky's food brought in? Sort of a big eat, meet and greet all at the same spot. Just a thought, anybody interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Works for me.... Just let us know the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashvillebill Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Well, here's the rub. This would need to organized and payed for by those participating in the dinner. The main point is that Corky's is rather small. Edited October 12, 2009 by nashvillebill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Six-Gun Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Saw Jerry at the ICORE Cup today, (he was High Open, Big Surprise), but he said he was planning to attend memphis. As far as Corky's on Friday Night, I Can swing in either direction, just let me know. BTW, does the match hotel have a bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Sounds like a Grudge Match coming down! When I called Corkys they said they could handle 20+, but I've no first hand knowledge. Looks like we're at 22 for Corkys now. I'd be in for a catered thing, but I'm not going to arrange that from here. How about someone local putting it together and letting us know how much each would pay? Probably make it large enough for all competitors. How about some Silver Bullets for our National Champion! It would simplify things for my group as we will be coming in about 6-7pm from Kansas. Dave Edited October 12, 2009 by pskys2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then check at the Registration Table Friday Night, just in case we wrangle something at the Match Hotel. Anyone want my cell # pm me. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COF Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 For anyone still needing a push to this match, I just heard from Julie and this match qualifies for the Crossover Commotion drawing at S&W...not that anyone here was waiting Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're at 27 for Friday Night Dinner! BTW is Scouten or Bane going to show up and record us for posterity. At least Cliff, our new NATIONAL Revolver CHAMPION!, would make good copy!
